Is this putting pressure on her in return?
An Tingyu's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, "If you are innocent, I will naturally not ignore you, but if you are not innocent, of course, I will not ignore you either, but..."
An Tingyu paused for a moment before continuing, "I will chop you into pieces and then throw you into the river to feed the fish."
"Hide this for yourself," An Tingyu threw him a silver needle and said, "I'll have someone send you food."
After saying that, An Tingyu pointed to the small window in his cell. Although it was called a window, it was actually just a very small vent. The entire window was only the size of the bronze mirror on a woman's dressing table.
Tang Liuzhao picked up the silver needle and hid it. He looked at the place she pointed at and said indifferently, "It seems that you are indeed a smart person. I originally thought that you were just a woman, and there were so many powerful people around you. With their help, you could become a 'talent' even if you were a loser. But now it seems that I underestimated you."
"Master Tang, you are also very smart! That medicine..."
An Tingyu's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but she did not finish her words. She stopped halfway through and did not linger any longer. When she said that, she waved her hand and left gracefully.
Behind, in the cell, Tang Liuzhao looked at the slender figure and suddenly smiled!
"Miss, what happened? Did you find out anything?" Outside the cell, Dang Yan, who was guarding An Tingyu, asked when he saw her come out.
An Tingyu shook her head. "There's no need to ask. It's all the same. A plaintiff, a defendant, a victim, and one of them is their true self. And I found something else in the cell."
"What is it?"
"Tang Liuzhao refused to eat. The food was poisoned. If the person who poisoned him wasn't himself, then someone was really trying to murder him. So, it seems that the account books can't be considered evidence. Moreover, they are just a few account books. I won't close the case based on them. They could be fake. So this matter needs to be investigated. But before that, you should quietly send him some food every day to avoid alerting the enemy."
"Yes, Dang Yan knows!"
"And this, take it!" An Tingyu suddenly threw a small brocade box to Dang Yan. Dang Yan looked at her puzzledly, "Miss, isn't this..."
"This is evidence, important evidence. You must keep it safe. It concerns Mr. Tang's innocence."
exhibit?
clean?
A hint of depth flashed across Dang Yan's deep eyes, but he quickly understood, because at this time, several people were coming towards them, including Zhu Xinbing, some yamen runners and jailers.
With Dang Yan's intelligence, when he saw them, he could of course guess what An Tingyu meant.
Tang Liuzhao's food was poisoned, and it's unclear whether he was framed. However, there are only two major forces in Xingfu Village: Tang Liuzhao and Zhu Xinbing. If it's not a self-act, then it's a frame-up. But who is the one who benefits from framing Tang Liuzhao? It's Zhu Xinbing. An Tingyu suddenly mentioned something about evidence, which is obviously for Zhu Xinbing to see. This is not evidence at all, but the box that Tang Liuzhao gave An Tingyu. The medicine has been consumed, and the box is just an empty box.
But even though it's an empty box, people who don't know wouldn't think so...
"Miss An, have you found the evidence? What is this?" Zhu Xinbing just stretched out his hand, but Dang Yan put the thing away with an expressionless face, as if he didn't see the expression Zhu Xinbing wanted to see.
"This..." Zhu Xinbing chuckled awkwardly. "Um... Miss An, do you think our Lord Tang has been wronged? Lord Tang's behavior is a bit strange, and he's not popular with the people. But I've served with him for many years, and I never thought he was that kind of person!"
"Master Zhu, you seem to care a lot about Master Tang!" An Tingyu said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Xinbing smiled modestly. "Miss An, you're too kind. People are all like that. Over time, they'll always develop feelings for each other. Lord Tang and I are colleagues in the same yamen, after all. Now that this has happened, although there's not much I can do to help, I hope Lord Tang is innocent."
An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily and said, "I also hope he is innocent. After all, I, An Tingyu, admire officials who are willing to work in the fields for the people."
After saying that, An Tingyu left without waiting for Zhu Xinbing to say anything.
Looking at the direction An Tingyu left, Zhu Xinbing narrowed his eyes coldly. "Gaizi, what do you think Miss An is up to? One moment she arrests someone, and the next moment she changes his confession. There's already evidence in this case, so what else is she looking for?"
The yamen runner named Gaizi said, "I don't know about that, but should we try to get the thing Dangyan is holding and take a look at it?"
Zhu Xinbing pondered for a moment before saying, "It's okay to wait and see. After all, if Tang Liuzhao dies, it won't harm us. But remember, we can only take it secretly, not openly. We can't afford to offend Miss An. It's not worth abandoning a big tree for a leaf."
"Yes, I know what to do."
"Go! Be careful." Zhu Xinbing did not forget to give the final reminder.
"Yes!" After replying, Gai Zi left Zhu Xinbing and quietly disappeared at the door of the cell.
…
That day, just as it got dark, Dang Yan came back from outside and said to An Tingyu, "Miss, Dang Yan has checked as you instructed. The address Datong gave is real. He didn't lie, and he is at home now. Do you want to see him now?"
An Tingyu supported her chin gracefully, her beautiful eyes rolling around, and suddenly she smiled, "Yes, why not!"
How can I know if I don't see him whether he is pretending to be a god or playing tricks, or if he is really as he said, just a good villager asking for help for the villagers.
"But I guess we can't get anything out of it, right?" Feng Yun, who had been silent all this time, said at this time.
An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily and shrugged, "Fengyun, do you doubt your master's ability so much? Yes, I'm extremely vigilant against people like Tang Liuzhao, who are difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, but I should be more than capable of dealing with a common farmer, right?"
"Oh~ I understand. You want to find a breakthrough in Datong?" Fengyun understood immediately.
An Tingyu gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Bingo, you got it right!"
"Bing...?" Fengyun was stunned by the words flying out of nowhere, confused. "Um... Miss An, can I ask you a question?"
"explain!"
"It seems like you often say something that we don't understand. Can I ask you where you read that?"
